Italeri 6594 - 1/35 Flakpanzer IV Ostwind: Close inspection for scale modellers

The Italeri 6594 1/35 Flakpanzer IV Ostwind is a rewarding kit for modellers attracted to World War II armoured vehicles. Famous for its open turret anti-aircraft mount, the Ostwind provided vital protection against enemy aircraft for armoured formations. This kit gives builders a chance to study and recreate those distinctive details in 1/35 scale.

Why the Ostwind mattered on the battlefield

Designed to shield Panzer units from increasing air attack, the Flakpanzer IV Ostwind paired a 37mm Flak 43 gun with the dependable Panzer IV chassis. Italeri's tooling captures the vehicle layout and main features, making it useful for historical dioramas and collections.

Assembly notes and display advice

At 1/35 scale this kit suits modellers looking for a moderate build. Parts come with fine detail that calls for careful trimming and gluing, and a painted finish will bring out the turret and gunwork for display. The finished model makes a realistic addition to a military shelf or battlefield vignette.
